11 Laval Virtual Where is Laval? North-West part of France Close to Brittany 1h30 from Paris by High-Speed Train (TGV) Middle-size city: 50,000 inhabitants Typical Mediaval French city PARIS LAVAL

12 Laval Virtual Why in Laval? Since 1999, Laval became a Pole of Excellence in Virtual Reality Start-up incubator Research Laboratories Higher Education Technology Center (4-side CAVE, haptic devices, VR workbench ) In 2010, we have founded the cluster LVRC (Laval Virtual Reality Capital)

13 Projects 1998 Fantastic Phantom Slipper 2000 RenderWare on PlayStation SPIDAR and Springhead 2002 the Labyrinth Walker Tangible Playroom series 2004 Advanced 3DCG 2005 LuminaStudio, RoboGamer series GPUVision series, WiiMedia series [Miraikan] Science Communicator, 4K Digital Cinema 2010 [KAIT] Scritter series, ResBe Slide 13

14 Fantastic Phantom Slipper Real-time motion capture using slipper style interface. Special vibro-tactile, Phantom Sensation Slide 14 Semi-dome style immersive screen.

15 RenderWare on PlayStation2 RenderWare is a middleware for RT3D CG. Multiplatform coding environment. (PC,PS2,DC,Xbox,Gamecube ) Innovative speed up in producing method. Worked for development and implementation for Japanese game developers. Learned their technique, style, culture, future Slide 15

16 SPIDAR and Springhead SPIDAR (SPace Interface Device for Artificial Realities) Invented by Prof.Sato at String based haptics interface. Springhead Artworks, Dynamo::taboo Framework and SDK for SPIDAR. Artificial beetle Real-time physics engine. Spinning top and pinball Slide 16

17 the Labyrinth Walker Locomotion interface without wearing interfaces. 4 pressure sensors and motor controlled turntable. It detects human walking steps and its orientation. Its artworks are imported from 3DSMax via VRML2.0 files. Demonstrated at SIGGRAPH2002 E-Tech as A New Step-in-Place Locomotion Interface for Virtual Environment With Large Display System. Some children museum had interest to use it. Slide 17

18 Tangible Playroom New entertainment system for future children Replacing current home TV games. Haptics, full body motion oriented. Using large display and SPIDAR style force feedback devices. Contents using Real-time Physics. Not a fake, educational experience using human size VR. Slide 18

19 Tangible Playroom, version 2001 Exhibition project using virtual reality technologies. Big size SPIDAR(H4xW2xL3 m). At Osaka, Japan Immersive large floor screen using network connected multi-projection system. A.I. and real time physics. Players can interact with artificial characters by their whole body. Slide 19 It could show a possibility of haptics entertainment but it was very huge to experiment.

20 A content of Tangible Playroom Penguin Hockey The first but most characteristic content of Tangible Playroom. Players have to recognize shape and touch of objects via haptics. The player is designed as a partner of loser penguin. To get a point, players have to put a snowman to each goal. The player can feel difference of the weights between snowmen and penguins. Slide 20

21 Tangible Playroom version 2002 Image sketch Redesigned for future home computer entertainment system. Implement to living room. Experimented about modes of haptics and projection. It was suitable for experiment but it couldn t experiment at outside of the laboratory. Slide 21 At Sato Laboratory

22 Tangible Playroom version 2003 To get more natural data when children play the game, it should be mobile. 135cm cubic frame. Experimented about difference of behaviors between Japanese and American children. At SIGGRAPH2003 SIGKIDS It can record players motion naturally but it isn t so enough to walk freely. Slide 22

23 Tangible Playroom version 2004 At Laval Virtual 2004 To keep mobility and large field, the encoder motors can be attached to structures by clamps. All of systems can be carried by one person by his hand. Slide 23

32 Short Conclusion of TangiblePlayroom Concept to Development it was needed 4years, but not finished. Ordering concepts is very important! because huge system need huge resources. Develop several type and applications Separate and Evaluate it in physical measures. it can makes approach mixed works to scientific works. Slide 32

33 Advanced 3DCG In NHK-ES Photo realistic real-time computer graphics for next generation TV environment. Global illumination, Image based lighting Slide 33

34 Where is Laval? Why Laval?

35 Worm pesonality Judo friends *Mr.Kanoh Jigoro

36 LuminaStudio Motivation: New keying tech. Focusing to develop the next generation of chroma-key. Chroma key is good but Slide 36 + Traditional method. - The actors cannot see the objects. - Keying color should be robust. (We would like to use more color for keying!)

37 Supportive invisible display Virtual studio (for audience) Final composite (real time) Projection Scene CG sources Actors can see the objects. Additional information from director. Cooperative with current virtual studio technologies. Slide 37

38 Concept of Lumina Studio Cheaper method using PC based tech. Simple setup GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) blending Cooperative with current methods. Slide 38 Non-exclusive use with chroma-key Luminance intensity from projector has possibility to make contrasts. Specialized Hardware will be possible, but it is not flexible and cheap.

39 Lumina Studio Configuration I can see! Blue sheet (color is free!) Transparent wall (A.k.a. glass) Projector ANSI 2000 Lumen Slide 39 If the blue illuminated area is overloaded by high-quality video, it can make a new composing method!

42 Details Real-time Video composing software. Input source is IEEE1394 DV Capture (30FPS) Running on Laptop PC (CPU:1.7GHz, GPU:ATI Radeon9700) It runs over 100FPS. (not optimized!) Tone Profile is a small texture file. Then the tone correction easier than coding Slide x1 pixels RGB color Red :Lumina Green:Chroma Blue :Matting

43 Evaluation Experiment Focused to make a training environment Because its advantage is visible. Tasks for participants (6 French students) Play a weathercaster for 30 sec. Read an English script (non-native language). Playing with virtual character. 2 Groups: Paper-Lumina or Lumina-Paper Slide 43

44 sec. (target = 30) sec. (target = 30) Result:time to finish Group A ( Paper - Lumina ) Group B ( Lumina - Paper ) B.D K.J 42 D.C Y.A 40 G.B 40 P.Y PROPOSED PROPOSED trial ( 1-5: Paper, 6-10: Lumina) trial ( 1-5: Lumina, 6-10: Paper) Suggested method decreased its training time. Slide 44

72 馴れ初め Mr. Koki Nagano says: 3 月の東工大卒業から USC の 2012 年秋学期が始まるまで時間があったので アメリカで先に研究を始めたいと思っていました すでに合格をもらっていた UCF の Sumanta Pattanaik 先生に 卒業後しばらくの期間 一緒に研究ができないか聞いたところ 先生が 4 月の終わりから 5 月まで フランスの共同研究者の Kadi Bouatouch 先生の所で一緒に研究をするので 一緒に来てもいい と言われ 行くことにしました 自費でも行くつもりでしたが 最終的に財団から補助をもらうことが出来ました 受入機関 IRISA ( 建物は INRIA と共同で 同じ研究室でも所属が IRISA の人や INRIA の人など 様々な人が共同的に働けるような環境でした ご存知かもしれませんが IRISA や INRIA Rennes の周りには グランゼコールの supelec や INSA などがあり この一帯が学生の街というような感じでした 自分は 月 277 ユーロの INSA の学生寮に住んでいました 成果 Sumanta 先生のプロジェクトなので どこまで詳細に書いていいのかわかりませんが フランスでは 偏光を考慮した Vector Radiative Transfer Equation( ベクトル放射伝達方程式 通称 VRTE) を解くための手法に関するプロジェクトに関わっていました CG のボリュームレンダリングで必ず登場する Radiative Transfer Equation ( 放射伝達方程式通称 RTE) とは違い VRTE では偏光が考慮されるので さらに物理的に忠実で写実的なレンダリングができるだろうというのがプロジェクトの狙いです CG の分野では 偏光まで考慮したレンダリングなどはあまりなじみがないと思いますが VRTE の理論はリモートセンシングや熱工学 大気に関する学問では非常に多くの先行研究があります インターン自体は 1 か月と非常に短かったため あまり多くの事は出来ませんでしたが 先行研究の調査や CG への応用 今後のプロジェクトの方向性について話し合い 根幹となるレンダリング手法の開発として SIGGRAPH 論文 ( の実装などをおこないました ( 煙のレンダリング )

73 Mr. Koki Nagano says: 研究スタイルで気がついたこと まず1 番に思ったことは みな朝早く ( 朝 8 時はすでに オンキャンパスに住んでいる学生の登校時間のピーク ) 帰りが早い(17 時から18には 建物から学生も教授もほぼいなくなる ) ということです できるだけこちらの生活スタイルに合わせようと思いましたが 1か月でできる限りのことをやろうと思っていたので 朝早く登校 日没の夜 22 時くらいに誰もいないラボから1 人帰宅という状況でした また 5 月は祝日と休日で半分くらいが休日で かなりやすみが多かったので最初は休むことに戸惑いましたが 自分の責任において 休む時は休んで その分頑張るときに頑張れば良い と思うようになり 気持ちや生活にメリハリがつくようになりました 午前中には ラボのみんなでコーヒーブレイクに行き お昼は先生が ごはんを食べに行こう とみんなを誘ってランチに出かけ 午後はまたコーヒーブレイクがあり 先生も学生指導に熱心で 研究室は非常にいいチームでした 研究室のポルトガル人の学生が フランスは productivity( 単位時間当たりの仕事量 ) が世界で1 番高い国だと思う と言っていたことが印象に残っていますが その通りだと思います その後 USC の Light Stage は 偏光を使い measurement ベースでレンダリングをする優れた技術を持っているので 今後フランス側との共同研究に発展することを期待しています その際は 両方の研究室に関わった自分が軸になれるように頑張りたいと思っています Web:Luminohope.org In LIGHT STAGE, USC ICT

76 History of Laval Virtual, 15 years and more Laval Virtual was created in The idea of the project was launched by Mr François d'aubert, Mayor of Laval at this time, and former French Minister of Research and Industry. The main idea of Laval Virtual was to create an event gathering professionals (users, manufacturers, scientists...), students and general public. Laval Virtual was the first step of a more important project. This project was to make Laval a pole of excellence in VR, with the creation of Laval Mayenne Technopole, CLARTE, some companies, laboratories, high-school education... History of Laval Virtual ReVolution First edition was in I've attached a complete list of ReVolution winners from 2006 to Some details are missing for edition 2006 and Collaboration with ACM Since 2005, with ACM, we have an in-cooperation agreement (TMRF) Since 2006, with ACM Siggraph, we have signed a Cooperation Agreement (Space exchange, complimentary registrations, promotion exchanges) Since 2006, with E-Tech, we have signed a Memorandum of Understandings, for demos exchanges.
